Title: What Are Your Favorite Shots
Post by: JeepMonkey on April 02, 2010, 01:44:06 pm
So what are your favorite three to five shots in all of pinball?  It doesn't matter what it is, a ramp, loop, toy, tartget, whatever.

- Gumball (when lit) up the right orbit in Twilight Zone, also the Camera when lit
- Couch shot in Simpsons Pinball Party (so freaking satisfying)
- Ring ramp to destroy the Ring in Lord of the Rings
- Attack From Mars orbit loops, also right up the middle to destroy the saucer
- Rudy's mouth when open in Funhouse

I could go on for quite some time, but all of these make me take a second to throw my arms up in the air.

From the games I currently own I would say getting Super Jackpot on SWT is pretty F'n hard.  Also the X-wing shot in the Luke Skywalker hero mode (when you are supposed to be shooting down the At-At) is pretty challenging.

My Cyclone doesnt have too many terribly challenging shots, although the game for me overall is challenging.  I would say getting hitting the Comet ramp shot over and over again until you get the 1 MIL score is pretty hard.  I've only done it once.

How about the SKID PAD on CORVETTE, the HOLE IN ONE shot on NO GOOD GOPHERS, the letter H on DOCTOR WHO, and the START MULTIBAL/EXTRA BALL shot on DEMOLITION MAN?

By that system, Demolition Man is worth... 50.. 60 bucks?   

If I liked DM I would give you that price, delivered of course.

Demo man is a fun game.  Well worth the $150 pbj paid for it I'm sure.

IMO its a hard game.  I owned one for 7-8 months and was only able to achieve Demolition Time or whatever it was a few times.  Making the shot back up the upper left lane is pretty damn hard if you ask me.  But again this is all from the perspective of a really crappy overall pinball player.

The orbit on Blackout with a little nudge as it comes back down to keep it from SDTM "orbit completed".

The Raptor shot on JP that sends the ball straight back at you at mach 2.

I always enjoyed the skill shot on JD where you had to upper left flip the ball as it was going by to make the "mini" orbit. Several loops are possible if timing is good.

Backhanding the ball through the spinner with a hard nudge at the to to lock the top ball on Firepower is fun too.

Magic wand shot on Pinball magic
Thing hand shot on Addams family
flipper ramp combo shot on Motordome
Roof mode 2 shot combo on Whodunnit
pick a ramp shot on Whitewater and it can complete the list
